Be Kind Rewind

Rating: F

Premise:  A guy who hangs out in a video store gets magnetized and erases all the videos

Recommend:  No.  I lasted 30 minutes with this one.  Jack Black (whom I usually like) SUCKED.  The entire thing just blew.

The Comebacks

Rating: F

This movie has something to do with a loser coach moving to Texas to become the head coach of a loser college's football team.  

Seriously bad.  I got through 20 minutes of this and it was about 15 minutes more time than I should have given it.  Please save yourself some brain cells and avoid this at all costs.

Apartment Zero

Grade: F

Premise: An about to be insane guy has to let out a room in his flat to another. He suspects that the other guy may be a murderer. He suspects correctly. Then it gets strange.

Recommend?:No. I can't get back the 2 hours I spent watching this. I only watched it because Colin Firth was in it - he didn't suck but the rest of the movie certainly did. It is a stretch to watch...even for CF. There are some unintentionally comedic moments in it towards the end.

Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Grade: F

Premise: Wallace & Grommit go in search of the were-rabbit

Recommend?: Only for anglophiles. I made it through a 1/2 hour before I was bored to tears. I know that I'm in the serious minority on this one.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Grade: F

Premise: A marine documentary maker goes out to search for the jaguar shark that ate his friend.

Recommend: Hard to say. This is one movie that I just didn't "get". I actually turned it off after an hour. Wasn't laugh out loud funny, nor did I find it amusing. After looking around on the web - sounds like either people really like it or really don't. I'm in the don't category.

I Heart Huckabees

Grade: F

Premise: Crunchy hippie tree saving poet gets pissed at Jude Law and decides to have an existential investigation done.

For the record: I did NOT heart huckabees. There is seriously no point to this movie - not acted well, bad script...the list goes on. I made it through most of this movie but turned it off with about 15 minutes to go so I could watch TIVOd Battlestar Galactica with DH. Don't even care about the last 15 minutes - sent it back to Netflix.

Although Ironically, In it's place I received another Jude Law presumed suckfest - Alfie. Is Jude Law in EVERYTHING now?

The Alamo

Grade: F

Premise: Hmmm...something about the Alamo I suppose....

This SUCKED! Dh & I looked at each other after 20 minutes and agreed to turn it off. You don't need to watch the whole thing to see how it ends...Watch the first 5 minutes before the credits or consult a history book...blow this movie off...

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat

Grade: F

Premise: Loosely based on the book "The Cat in the Hat"

Ugh...1/2 hour in and 10 minutes into the Cat appearing, I just had to turn this off. Horrible-Horrible-Horrible. MMyers place the cat like his character, Linda Richman in SNL Coffee Talk. Just bad.

God is Great, But I'm Not

Grade: F

Premise: A troubled girl commits suicide and then becomes a buddhist.

Well, I lasted an hour. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind to watch a french movie with subtitles - but I actually got lost as to what was happening. Not worth finishing...

Garfield

Grade: F/D-

Premise: Garfield the cat gets an attitude when Jon brings home a dog.

Had to turn this one off after 1/2 hour. Just ridiculously boring. Plus Jennifer Love Hewitt as a Vet? I just wasn't buying it. Got a D- because kids will love it.

Dirty Pretty Things

Grade: D-/F

Premise: Two illegal workers in a hotel have something to do with murders in that hotel.

No idea, turned it off after 45 minutes. The story was going nowhere and wasn't interesting enough to wait it out.

Freddy Vs. Jason

Grade: F
 
Premise: No idea - my husband wanted to see it.
 
Well, my husband can pretty much sit through anything.  In fact, he enjoys going to movies that he thinks will be terrible.  This one he turned off after 15 minutes.  A new level of terrible has apparently been achieved.

The Singing Detective

Grade: F
Premise: Psoriasis ridden patient dreams his days through a book he wrote. I think.

Turned it off after 20 minutes...only lasted that long because Jeremy Northam was semi-naked...

Van Helsing

Grade: F
Premise: Van Helsing goes to Transylvania to kill Dracula. Kate Beckinsale tries to help.

It sucked out loud. It is, quite possibly, the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting by all, except Mr. Jackman, is terrible. The effects are terrible...just bad...After 20 minutes I checked my watch thinking it had been at least an hour. The biggest problem with this movie was that it relied on CONSTANT monster popping out at you scenes so you never got a chance to just kind of relax and get prepared for the next monster scene...

I know the reviews on this have been mixed...please pay attention to the really bad reviews! If you love Hugh Jackman...wait until there is only about 20 minutes left in the film and you will get a shot of HJ with that long hair in a loincloth...That itself is worth the price of admission...just don't bother with the rest of the film...

Absolutely not a good choice for kids...too intense... OH and Matt hated it too...possibly more than I did. Don't even rent this one...wait for X-Men 3!
